On the evening of Jaun 4, communications on the cultures of Hunan and Taiwan was held successfully in the Moot Court in HNULS. Presenters were Zhang Jingyu, Former President of National University of Governance, Cheif member of Mainland Affairs Council, Chairman of Society for Huxiang culure development of Taibei, and Zhang Pingyi, Chief Executive Officer of The Wings of Hope, “Annual figure who touched China in year 2011 by CCTV”. It was presided over by Yuan Baishun, Executive Director of the Center for studies of the independent Commission against corruption and Vice Dean of HNULS.

Director Zhang Jingyu begins his talk first with his personal experience and the historical relations between Mainland and Taiwan. He points out that it is commendable to have the current good changes because the relationship has been in a 40-year-long opposition from the establishment of the new China to the adoption of the Opening Policy. However, there still exist many Gordian knots in front of cross-strait relationship. These problems originated from history, recognition and even simply misunderstanding. To descend to the concreted details, they are four major aspects : the historical factors, the controversial concept of certain terms, such as “state” and “central”, the question of whether realizing the unification through peaceable means and lack of mutual trust. When Mainland and Taiwan are both sparing no effort to seek for the solutions to the problems, Director Zhang brings up his own understanding which is the concept of “3I”: Ideas, Interest, and Institution. In theory, be pragmatic and realize the complicity of the cross-strait disputes. We should fix our thought from the actual and accumulate mutual trust. Then put down the fight thoughts, do less political symbol-related things and do more things concerning people’s happiness. The mainland and Taiwan should try their best to cut down the separation concern and deepen the verbal and deed communication degree and pursue our common interest. In considering the interest, both sides should strengthen the cooperation and cut down the defense expenditure. This can help achieve the co-work and complement between mainland and Taiwan in the field of politic, economy, agriculture, medical care, education and environment protection. After his speech, everyone starts asking questions with extreme passion. Mr. Zhang replies them with great wit and proper word which wins him the great applause from the audience.
